Gorgeous panoramic view of Honolulu, Diamond Head Volcanic Crater, Waikiki and the Hawaiian blue ocean as viewed from the lofty vantage point of Scenic Overlook Platform in Puu Ualakaa State Park in Oahu, Hawaii. It is 1,048 feet above Waikiki on the mountain behind Honolulu. This lofty Scenic Lookout offers the best sweeping vistas of Oahu's south shore. We had two extra days to tour the Island of Oahu after the Hawaii Island Cruise ended on Saturday August 25, 2012. On Sunday, August 26, we drove the rental car up on the winding, zig-zag RoundTop Drive in Honolulu to reach this state park and the fantastic viewing platform. Puu Ualakaa State Park is at the end of Nutridge Street which is off RoundTop Dr. in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Our Hawaii Island Cruise took us to visit four islands; Oahu, Maui, the Big Island of Hawaii, and Kauai. These four islands are very different and each has different beautiful sceneries and very interesting things for visitors to enjoy. My six web pages from this Hawaii Island Cruise are:

A panoramic view of the Kīlauea summit volcanic caldera/crater in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kīlauea has a large summit caldera, measuring 2 by 2 mi with walls (caldera rim) up to 400 ft high. The caldera wall is breached by lava flows on the southwestern side. This caldera is at about 4,000 feet of elevation. A major feature within the caldera is Halemaumau Crater, a large circular pit crater and one of Kīlauea's most historically active eruption centers. The crater is approximately 3,018 ft in diameter and 279 ft deep. This smoking Halemaumau Crater is emitting white smoke plume (sulphur dioxide) at the far end of this picture. When we drove from the Kilauea Visitor Center onto the Crater Rim Drive in counter-clockwise direction, this is the first Lookout, near the Steam Vents area, for visitor to enjoy the panoramic view of the Kilauea Caldera.

Kilauea is active volcano located in the south eastern part of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is the youngest among the five volcanoes that form the Big Island of Hawaii. Mount Kilauea frequently pours out lava and hence is named so. In the Hawaiian language, the word, 'Kilauea' means "spewing" or 'much spreading'. Kīlauea ranks among the world's most active volcanoes and may even top the list. Kīlauea is visited by millions of tourists each year, making it the most visited attraction in Hawaii and the most visited volcano in the world.
